How to Reset the Maintenance Light on a Civic?
2 Answers
The method to reset the maintenance light on a Civic is: 1. Turn the Civic's power to the on mode; 2. Repeatedly press the display information button until the word 'Maintenance' appears on the screen; 3. Press the enter button, and then the engine oil monitor will appear on the screen; 4. Hold the enter button for about 10 seconds, and the maintenance light will be reset. Taking the 2021 Civic as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4517mm, width 1799mm, height 1434mm, wheelbase 2700mm, fuel tank capacity 47l, and curb weight 1343kg.
I remember the Civic maintenance light reset procedure is quite simple. I've tried it several times on my own car. First, turn the ignition key to the ON position without starting the engine - just power it up. Then press and hold the TRIP reset button on the instrument panel for about 10 seconds until the maintenance indicator light goes off. From my experience, the button location might vary between different Civic model years. Older models have it next to the odometer, while newer ones may integrate it into the control panel. The manual usually contains illustrations. Before resetting, it's best to confirm you've completed maintenance like oil changes to avoid misleading yourself. Regular maintenance makes the engine more durable. I make it a habit to note down the date after each reset as a reminder for the next service. Never delay when the light comes on - ensuring driving safety is paramount.
